Hometown: Grand Blanc, MI
Bio: Hi everyone, I’m Brandon. I grew up in the suburbs around Flint, Michigan and lived in Flint itself for undergrad. I also grew up in Scouting and have developed a lifelong passion for the outdoors. You can find me out backpacking, kayaking, or staying at home with my two cats, Tater Tot and Jinx.
Why Memorial: Memorial is all about comradery and support. That mixed with an unparalleled education at a referral center like Memorial Hospital, in addition to being an unopposed program, made Memorial my top choice for training toward my goal of becoming a full-scope Family Practice physician.
Clinical interests: Primary Care, Wound Care
Hobbies: Outdoor activities, playing guitar, playing drums
Favorite quotes: “If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
Favorite books: The Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson
Favorite podcasts: Welcome to Nightvale
Best Advice: There is nothing more important than being kind. Never underestimate the power a kind gesture has to help turn around someone else’s day. You can be smart, creative, successful, anything, but without kindness, these are all hollow.
Favorite thing to do/place to go in South Bend/Mishawaka: Kayaking along the St. Joseph River
